The immensity of the desert is overwhelming, and many people take it for granted. It's fascinating how the shadows drawn on the dunes change right in front of our eyes throughout the day, how the ripples on the sand appear interdaily, any trace of human interference entirely fading away.
Miraflores is a district of the Lima Province in Peru. It is an exclusive residential and upscale shopping district south of downtown Lima. It is also one of the most affluent districts that make up the city of Lima. It has various hotels (including the Hilton, the JW Marriott, and the Belmond), restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and department stores. Miraflores is one of the main tourist attractions in Lima.
I was in Cusco, Peru and saw a statue of Christ illuminated in the night sky. The very next morning I asked a local where I could find the statue that they called Cristo Blanco. After a short taxi ride, I walked to the open arms of the statue that overlooked the city. What a beautiful sight.
This is the Pastoruri Glacier in Peru, from this photo, it looks huge but it’s not even 30% of what was once before. As you can see, the ice is turning to water and creating this lake. Some researches show that this glacier will disappear in 3-4 years…
We entered Machu Picchu at 5:30am as the sun was rising over the mountains. This photo was captured as a bird flew off into the distance once we entered the park. The clouds rose from the base of Machu Picchu and cleared to make a sunny day.
To reach the Pastoruri Glacier at 5300m above the sea level, you have to take a car until a point inside the Huascarán Park and from there, walk this path to get to the top, where you can see the lake and the huge block of ice.
Son pocos los lugares que te ofrecen la magia y la conexión especial con el entorno. Con el primer paso en Machu Picchu, sabrás que es maravilla de maravillas. Una razón más para darnos cuenta cuan imponentes fueron los Incas al momento de hacer sus construcciones. Naturaleza e historia juntas para deslumbrarnos.

Sunday noon, while all people where participating on the national census, streets look empty and abandoned like it was the first day people left. This is a shot of a hipster neighbourhood Barranco whit -almost- no humans around in the shot.

Llamas can be found all over Peru, especially on the way up into Coloca Canyon. If you’d like your picture taken with a llama or one of the woman watching over them, make sure to be kind and give a small tip (a few soles should do).

This is an aerial view from the Huascarán National Park in Peru, that comprises most of the mountain range known as Cordillera Blanca (the world’s highest tropical mountain range) which is part of the central Andes, in the region of Ancash.
One of the hardest things I’ve ever done was hike three hours in the snow and mud up Rainbow Mountain. Local men and women would speed past me wearing open toe sandals as blood dripped from their feet to guide tourists up the mountain who otherwise couldn’t make it, just to run back down for another rider.

One off the bucketlist - We were very close to not making the trip up there as our budget was on its last legs. We decided to go it alone rather than use the extortionate travel agencies and made the journey via several local combi-taxi’s, one of which was 5 hours long, then a few sketchy gravel roads with sheer drops to the road’s side, a hike up a railway track, a mad dash through a tunnel to avoid the approaching train, and then a 3 hour round trip hike to the top and back the following morning. One of the best decisions we made and a story to tell. Always do it.
The most incredible trekking I’ve ever done. It took me 3 hours to get there. I had to climb mountains, hills, valleys, among others. I could see hundreds of landscapes. The water ran out, I was very dehydrated and I felt I was dying. I saw many tourists walk with me, we all cheered up. No one ever gave up. We were at 4604 meters above sea level. But my goal was more powerful, I knew I had to get there. Until suddenly, in the distance, I saw a turquoise triangle … IT HAD COME IN! It was worth the effort.

This cactus is so beautiful, I really love it. I love cactus in all kind of forms and sizes. I wish I could have something like this in my house, but as I’m not able to, at least I took the picture to have it as a background in my laptop.

Machu Picchu (in Quechua “Old Mountain”). Declared Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco in 1981. It is one of the 7 new wonders of the world located in Peru, in the Department of Cuzco, in the province of Urubamba. This ancient Andean town was built in the 15th century as a resting place and religious sanctuary.

There are places that we imagine exist, when we began to plan our trip to Cusco, we discovered the Humantay Lagoon, and we were impressed with the beauty of that country, the track is not easy, we had a rainy weather that made the trek more difficult but that does not take away the desire to keep going up to this great lagoon. On the way you will find incredible landscapes that make the walk more pleasant
The first photographic procedure was developed in 1839, when Louis Daguerre perfected the technique of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and disseminated it worldwide in Paris, at the French Academy of Sciences. This procedure was based on the invention of the daguerreotype, which consists in obtaining an image on a polished silver surface. On August 19 it was chosen as the World Day of Photography because that same day, in 1839, the daguerreotype was established as the first practice of the photographic process and the French government announced that photography had been invented in the city of Paris
